![]() The exception seems to be for coolie hats, which seem easier to map from within the game, but maybe I didn't understand how they work in the Saitek software. Which are quite useful, since the X52 doesn't actually have a lot of buttons - it mostly has a lot of coolie hats and dials. So, I'd say that just using in-game mapping isn't really a great solution, since it doesn't allow all those possibilities. using the wheel for next/previous closest hostile. using the same button for switching secondary weapon bank and for switching secondary fire mode (single/double) with the pinkie switch as a modifier I've recently started playing FreeSpace 2 (with the open source engine/SCP improvements) with an X52 (non-pro version), and so far, I've found that Saitek's profile utility is quite useful, since it allows you to use the mode selector and the pinkie switch, or to use the slider and rotary dials to emulate key presses depending on their position. But with Freespace Open you should be able to use your stick and not need a profile. Graphics now looks MUCH MUCH better and if you downloaded the improved briefings and visuals, the game will look pretty darn modern.Īny way, enjoy, and if you have problems getting it to run, share the problems and we'll work it out.Crazy_dave: He did mention a profile but indicated it was unstable - however maybe it was simply unstable with Freespace Open and wouldn't be with vanilla FS2. There are a TON of options and it's beyond the scope of this note to explain them all, but now you can run the game natively in 1080p (or beyond) instead of using NGLIDE to scale up the ancient 640x480 graphics. WX has more options, but YAL is much simpler. Have patience.Īfter stuff had been downloaded, you can use either WXLauncher, or YAL (Yet Another Launcher) to build up the command line to launch the game itself. It will then download all the various files. If you want the max enjoyment (and lots of downloads), get the FSPort 2014 Media VP. You can also download the improve visuals, new 720p briefings, and so on. But there are a TON of good user campaigns from the FS Community you should try them out out. You will need SOME of the mods, notably, FSport, which are the FS1 and FS2 missions ported into FSOpen engine. (For Steam, it's probably Steam/Steamapps/common/Freespace or Freespace 2)įourth, follow the prompts, and it will prompt you to download the bare minimum of files, and/or the mods. Third, run the installer, and install it into your Freespace or Freespace 2 directory. You will need to install Java first, if you haven't already. Note: This installer requires Java, but it's for Windows. Second, download FreeSpace Open Installer from What you need to do is NOT that complicated.įirst, you do need to own this game (and Freespace 2 as well, really) ![]() That's right, folks, you can play this game with a modern DirectX compatible engine that was open-sourced by Volition a long time ago, called FSOpen! So what should you do? Play it with a MODERN engine! ![]() For people who complain that this game doesn't support modern machines. ![]()
